IT companies such as Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services and HCLTech to global majors like Accenture have been setting up AI labs from Japan to the Nordic countries to the Americas to showcase their AI and generative AI capabilities to existing and prospective clients. These facilities also allow the companies to work jointly with their clients to innovate new solutions, said industry experts.
«While existing clients can come, try and discuss their problem statements, they will also collaborate for proof of concepts in such labs after hearing from subject matter experts,» said Pareekh Jain, chief executive of engineering insight platform EIIRTrend. «The labs also help conceive new ideas and solutions. Newer and smaller clients would also come to evaluate their small pilots and take them to the production stage. Eventually, these labs would become a fertile ground where the seeds for many large IT deals would germinate in the days to come.»
